A NOVEL Way or SAVING FIs UR
GoLn.--A Snake river placer miner,
whose name is withheld for the
present, is experimenting with a now
ell device for saving the -four gold
which is found there in large quanti-
ties. The gold is so fine and light
that 1t is difficult to wash it, as head
OF water sufficient t, wash the sand
will carry the precious particles with
It. Every miner knows what effect
a little grease in his horn will have
on prospect. The grease collects
the gold, raises, and flows off or
settles on the side of the horn.
With this knowledge, a peculiar
sluice box has been constructed. Ii
isgreased thoroughly inside, and near
the head is grease vat, which is 50
constructed as to furnish a steady
supply, and can be turned off and on
at will by a thumb screw. One pound
OF grease will supply machine for
ten days.
The slulce box is set in the water
and the sand shoveled into it. A
heavy wooden scraper is then used,
and with the aid Of the current the
sand is stirred up and passed throrgh
the box. The greasy water contain
ing the gold flows into sort of a
boom constructed OF fell, with wood
Ell blankets underneath, while the
sand passes off with the strong under
current. The "amalgam" is then
collected. The blankets have to be
boiled about once every month or SO.
These slu:ces may be made large

The testimony OF successive witnesses in the
Roslindale disaster investigation shows that a
widespread suspicion OF danger from the Bussey
bridge prevailed and fears for the safety OF GER
tain existing bridges in the vicinity also crop out
The pOst-mOrtem which the civil engineers are
holding in this investigation may at least serve
to cause a rigid inspection OF these suspected
structures III no other consideration is of weight
with the railroads, 1t may be suggested that
bridge can be more conveniently and economically
Inspected while still standing, than after it has
dtslntegrated and fallen. The Massachusetts, rail-
road commission have not disregarded the infor-
nation and suggestions furnished by the Investi-
CATION, and have sent circular to all the railroads
OF the state directing them to furnish the records
OF the first and latest tests OF all the bridges On
their lines, and also to report whether any parts
OF the bridges, essential to safety so covered
as 10 be concealed from inspection. Until the
work OF investigation and reform Is COM
plete, the traveller will make his journey In fear
and trembling, beguiling the time with profound
calculations as TO the safest locality in train and
car In which to meet the inevitable accident. I'm
proving the example OF the latest witness in the
Investigation, who testif1es that, with q mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation OF chances, he insisted upon
riding over the bridge In the front baggage car
when travelling in one direction and In a certain
passenger car when crossing the other way, the
passenger OF the future may be expected to de-
mand that he be supplied with a seat ON top Of

RANDOM Norrs.

In this uncertain state Of the weather. while
winter fingers in ths lap Of Spring." it may
not be out Of place to state-and il may inter
est those who never gave the matter . thought
to know-that, while the snow was on the
ground the live and progressive clothiers Of
this country-men who want to keep up with
these live and progressive times-were busily
engaged In the manufacture of clothing for
Spring and Summer wear, straining every
nerve 50 that when the proper time arrived
they might be thoroughly equipped to enter
the arena Of active competition. During the
dull winter months the average retail clothier
peacefully rests on his oars, and when the
Spring time comes he goes ON the market and
buys his stock. but the drones have got to pay
for the products Of the busy workers. brains,
and to make their business profitable they are
compelled to charge their patrons profits in
keeping with the advanced prices they are COM
PEELED to pay to the manufacturers
Our Mr.. A. SAKs is the manufacturer Of our
house, and he is recognized this country over
as one Of the best. There is no middlemen's
profits to step in between producer and con-
sumner in our case. We save all that and share
it with our patrons. and that is one good reason
why we can undersell any clothing house in this
section of the country.
There is no man In America more thorough
" competent to produce Clothing suitable for
this market than he, although still young
mainland therefore fully alive to the wants Of
the youth Of this city. He started twenty
years ago, while yet a mere boy, in the clothing
business here. laying the foundation Of the inn
mense business Of which he is to-day the head.
1t will thus be seen that our house is of no
mushroom growth, but is part and parcel Of
our eity's development Growing in the peo-
pies confidence as the years glide by. until it
well and cheaply. The stock Of Clothing which
we have prepared for our patrons this Spring
surpasses all our previous efforts in quantity,
quality, elegance Of style, correctness of fit and
low prices, and the immense business we have
been doing during the past few weeks-not
alone in Clothing, but also in Hats, Shoes and
Gents Furnishings-best attest the popularity
Of our well-known methods.
